MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 31, 2013 by and between Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association (“Buyer”), and Green Tree Servicing LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”).

RECITALS

Seller has requested Buyer to enter into transactions with Seller whereby Seller may, from time to time, sell to Buyer certain residential mortgage loans (including the Servicing Rights related thereto) and/or other mortgage related assets and interests, against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Seller such purchased assets at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller (each such transaction, a “Transaction”).

Buyer has agreed to enter into such Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

1.1

Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise requires. All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

1.2

Interpretation; Principles of Construction. The following rules of this Section 1.2 apply unless the context requires otherwise. A gender includes all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Schedule or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of, or schedule or exhibit to, this Agreement. A reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document (including any Principal Agreement) is to the agreement or document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited thereby or by any Principal Agreement and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. A reference to writing includes a facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form. A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”, the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including”.

Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Seller by Buyer or an

authorized officer of Buyer provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence of manifest error. A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing related to such agreement.

A reference to a document includes an agreement (as so defined) in writing or a certificate, notice, instrument or document, or any information recorded in electronic form. Where Seller is required to provide any document to Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant document shall be provided in writing or printed form unless Buyer requests otherwise. At the request of Buyer, the document shall be provided in electronic form or both printed and electronic form.

This Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by counsel to, Buyer and Seller, and is the product of all parties. In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this Agreement or this Agreement itself. Except where otherwise expressly stated, Buyer may give or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents and may form opinions and make determinations at its sole and absolute discretion. Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Buyer shall not be construed to require Buyer to request or await receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or with respect to Seller, a servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any other Person or the Purchased Assets themselves. All references herein or in any Principal Agreement to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(19) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

ARTICLE 2

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TRANSACTIONS

2.1

Agreement to Enter into Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, enter into Transactions with Seller; provided, however, that (a) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price as of any date shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit and (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for any Type of Transaction shall not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit. Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions with an Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price equal to or less than the Committed Amount, and Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount. All purchases of Purchased Assets shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up the Uncommitted Amount. Seller may request Transactions in excess of the Aggregate Transaction Limit and Buyer may, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to a Temporary Increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit in accordance with Section 2.10.

2.2

Transaction Limits. The Aggregate Transaction Limit and each Type Sublimit shall be as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. Upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Seller, Buyer shall have the right to terminate any Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and require the repurchase of any such Purchased Assets, or reduce, whether permanently or temporarily, and without refund of any fee or other amount previously paid by Seller, the Aggregate Transaction Limit and/or each Type Sublimit by an amount up to the Uncommitted Amount. In the event of any reduction pursuant to this Section 2.2, Buyer shall give Seller prior written notice thereof, which notice shall be given at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such reduction and shall designate (a) the effective date of any

such reduction, (b) the amount of the reduction and (c) the Transaction and/or Type Sublimit limit(s) to which such reduction amount shall apply. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to a reduction by Buyer in the Aggregate Transaction Limit or any Type Sublimit.

2.3

Description of Purchased Assets. With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall cause to be maintained with Buyer Purchased Assets with an Asset Value not less than, at any date, the related Purchase Price for such Transaction. With respect to each Transaction, the type of Purchased Asset shall be the type of Asset as specified in the Transactions Terms Letter as the Type, and in each case shall consist of the type of mortgage loans, mortgage related securities, or interests therein as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 101(47)(A). If there is uncertainty as to the Type of a Purchased Asset, Buyer shall determine the correct Type for such Purchased Asset.

2.4	Maximum Transaction Amounts. The Purchase Price for each proposed Transaction shall not exceed the lesser of:

(a)

the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for the applicable Type Sublimit (after giving effect to all Transactions then subject to the Agreement), as determined by the Type of Purchased Asset;

(b)

the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as such amount may be increased from time to time in the sole discretion of Buyer as provided in Section 2.10), minus the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all other Transactions outstanding, if any; and

(c)

the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset(s).

2.5	Use of Proceeds. Seller shall use the Purchase Price of each Transaction solely for the purpose of originating and/or acquiring the related Purchased Asset(s).

2.6	Price Differential.

(a)

Price Differential. Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales by Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay Buyer interest on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid, at an annual calculation equal to the Price Differential; provided that if the Repurchase Price for a Transaction is not paid by Seller when due (whether at the Repurchase Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), the Repurchase Price shall bear a Price Differential from the date due until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date on which a Purchased Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset shall bear a Price Differential at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the Type Margin for a Noncompliant Asset.

(b)

Time for Payment. Price Differential with respect to any Purchased Asset shall be due and payable on the Payment Date occurring in the second month following the related Purchase Date and thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date. On the date that the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset is paid, all accrued Price Differential not otherwise paid by the Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset shall be due and payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(b), in the event the Asset Value of any Purchased Asset is marked to zero and Seller requests Buyer to release its security interest in such Purchased Asset or any Purchased Items related thereto, Buyer shall not release any such security interest therein unless and until Seller shall have paid to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset.

(c)

Computations. All computations of Price Differential and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the relevant period, and a three-hundred sixty (360) day year.

2.7

All Transactions are “Servicing Released”. The sale of Mortgage Loans by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Transactions under this Agreement includes the Servicing Rights related to the Mortgage Loans and all Transactions under this Agreement are “servicing released” purchase and sale transactions for all intents and purposes, it being understood that the Purchase Price paid by Buyer to Seller for each such Mortgage Loan includes a premium that compensates Seller for the Servicing Rights related to the Mortgage Loan and upon payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to Seller, Buyer becomes the owner of the Mortgage Loan and the Servicing Rights related thereto.

2.8

Terms and Conditions of Transactions. The terms and conditions of the Transactions as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter, this Agreement or otherwise may be changed from time to time by Buyer by providing prior notice to Seller. The terms and conditions of the Transactions Terms Letter are hereby incorporated and form a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein; provided however, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Transactions Terms Letter, the Transactions Terms Letter shall control.

2.9

Reserved.

2.10

Temporary Increase of Aggregate Transaction Limit Seller may request a temporary increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit (a “Temporary Increase”) by submitting to Buyer an executed request for Temporary Increase in the form of Exhibit O hereto (a “Request for Temporary Increase”), setting forth the requested increased Aggregate Transaction Limit (such increased amount, the “Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit”), the effective date and time of such Temporary Increase and the date and time on which such Temporary Increase shall terminate. Buyer may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to such Temporary Increase, which consent shall be in writing as evidenced by Buyer’s delivery to Seller of a countersigned Request for Temporary Increase. At any time that a Temporary Increase is in effect, the Aggregate Transaction Limit shall equal the Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit for all purposes of this Agreement and all calculations and provisions relating to the Aggregate Transaction Limit shall refer to the Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit, including without limitation, Type Sublimits. Upon the termination of a Temporary Increase, Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets in order to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price to the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase) in accordance with Section 4.2(j).

ARTICLE 3

PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING AND ENTERING INTO TRANSACTIONS

3.1

Policies and Procedures. In connection with the Transactions contemplated hereunder, Seller shall comply with all applicable policies and procedures of Buyer as may currently exist or as hereafter created. Such policies and procedures may be in writing, published on Buyer’s website(s) or otherwise contained in the Handbook. Buyer shall have the right to change, revise, amend or supplement its policies and procedures and the Handbook from time to time to conform to current legal requirements or Buyer practices by giving prior written notice to Seller of such changes, revisions, amendments or supplements; provided that Seller shall have thirty (30) days

from the date Seller receives such notice (the “Initial Compliance Period”) to comply with such new policies and procedures and no Event of Default shall occur for any failure by Seller to comply with such new policies and procedures within the Initial Compliance Period. To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Handbook, this Agreement shall control.

3.2	Request for Transaction; Asset Data Record.

(a)

Request for Transaction. Seller shall request a Transaction by delivering to Buyer, electronically or in writing, an Asset Data Record for each Asset intended to be the subject of the Transaction no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time); provided, however, that if Seller intends to request a Transaction or series of Transactions with an Aggregate Purchase Price equal to or greater than ten million ($10,000,000) dollars, Seller shall provide Buyer not fewer than one (1) Business Day prior written notice thereof. Buyer shall be under no obligation to enter into any Transaction or Transactions requested by Seller if the Purchase Price relates to the Uncommitted Amount. Assuming the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 for the initial Transaction and Section 7.2 for each Transaction and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Buyer may, for any Transaction with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and shall, for any Transaction with respect to the Committed Amount, confirm to Seller the terms of Transactions electronically or in writing. Buyer reserves the right to reject any Transaction request that Buyer in good faith determines fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or Buyer’s then current policies and procedures.

(b)

Failure to Enter into Transaction; Cancellation of Transaction. If Seller fails five (5) times or more to enter into a Transaction in each case, after Seller has requested such Transaction and submitted an Asset Data Record in connection with such request, for each Transaction requested by Seller thereafter for which Seller fails to enter into such Transaction after Seller has requested such Transaction and submitted an Asset Data Record in connection with such request, Seller shall pay Buyer any breakage fees and reimburse Buyer for any reasonable out-of-pocket losses, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such failure to enter into the Transaction, including, without limitation, costs relating to re-employment of funds obtained by Buyer and fees payable to terminate the arrangements through which such funds were obtained. In addition, with respect to any Transaction, including the initial Transaction, if following disbursement by Buyer of the Purchase Price relating to such Transaction, Seller cancels such Transaction, in each case, Seller shall pay Buyer a Price Differential on such Purchase Price from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer.

(c)

Form of Asset Data Record. Buyer shall have the right to revise or supplement the form of the Asset Data Record from time to time by giving at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to Seller.

3.3	Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

In addition, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a duly executed Trade Assignment together with a true and complete copy of the Purchase Commitment with respect to the related Mortgage-Backed Security in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2(a)(iii) and Section 7.2(d).

(d)

With respect to a Transaction the subject of which is a Government Mortgage Loan, Seller shall, at the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer or its Custodian, within forty five (45) calendar days following the Purchase Date for such Mortgage Loan, the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract or the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement, as applicable, or evidence of such insurance or guaranty, as applicable, including proof of payment of the premium and the case number so Buyer can access the information on the computer system maintained by FHA or the VA.

(e)

Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s Possession. At all times during which the Mortgage Loan Documents related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan are in the possession of Seller, and until such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller, Seller shall hold such Mortgage Loan Documents in trust separate and apart from Seller’s own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and shall act only in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions thereto. Such Mortgage Loan Documents should be clearly marked as subject to delivery to Buyer.

(f)

Other Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s Possession. With respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan, until such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller, Seller shall hold in trust separate and apart from Seller’s own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Buyer all mortgage loan documents related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan and not delivered to Buyer, including, without limitation, the Other Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable. All such mortgage loan documents shall be clearly marked as subject to delivery to Buyer.

3.4

Haircut. With respect to each Transaction for which the related Purchase Price is being remitted by Buyer to one or more Approved Payees (other than the Disbursement Agent), Seller shall ensure that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Over/Under Account. With respect to each Transaction for which the related Purchase Price is being remitted by Disbursement Agent to (a) with respect to Wet Mortgage Loans, Closing Agents and (b) with respect to Dry Mortgage Loans, the applicable warehouse lender or a Correspondent, Seller shall ensure that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Disbursement Account at least equal to the related Haircuts, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

(ii)

Buyer. Buyer shall credit to the Over/Under Account all amounts in excess of those amounts due to Buyer in accordance with the Principal Agreements on the date Buyer receives or has received both (1) a payment by Seller or an Approved Investor pursuant to a Purchase Commitment and (2) a Purchase Advice relating to such payment without discrepancy; provided, however, that funds and Purchase Advices received by Buyer after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time), shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to notify Seller if there is a discrepancy between a wire transfer and the related Purchase Advice, and thereafter, Seller shall notify Buyer as to whether Buyer should accept such settlement payment despite the discrepancy between the amount received and the related Purchase Advice; provided, however, that if an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer is not obligated to receive approval from Seller prior to accepting any amounts received and releasing the related Purchased Assets.

(iii)

Withdrawals.

(i)

Seller. In the event there are excess funds in the Over/Under Account and provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may submit a written request to Buyer for return or payment of such excess funds.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.5(c)(i) to the contrary, Buyer reserves the right to reject any request for excess funds from the Over/Under Account if Buyer determines that such excess funds shall be used to satisfy Seller’s outstanding obligations under this Agreement or are subject to other rights as provided in this Agreement.

With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, including the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, together with all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all amounts due and payable under the terms of such Purchased Assets.

Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price for all Transactions (other than Mortgage Loans purchased with funds from the Disbursement Account) by wire transfer to an Approved Payee. Buyer shall remit the Purchase Price for all Transactions purchased with funds from the Disbursement Account to the Disbursement Account in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay the Purchase Price under any method of payment to any Closing Agent, warehouse lender or a Correspondent

that is not an Approved Payee. Further, the payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to any Closing Agent, warehouse lender or Correspondent that is not an Approved Payee shall not make such Closing Agent, warehouse lender or Correspondent an Approved Payee. Any funds disbursed by Buyer to Seller or its Approved Payee shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, regulations and policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk. Seller acknowledges that as a result of such applicable laws, regulations and policies, equipment malfunction, Buyer’s approval procedures or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Buyer, the payment of a Purchase Price may be delayed. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any such delays, or

(ii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a Purchased Asset is the subject of third party financing, Buyer may pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price directly to the warehouse lender or other lender that has a security interest in such Purchased Asset to satisfy the related indebtedness and obtain a release of such security interest.

(c)

Transaction Limitations and Other Restrictions Relating to Closing Agents. Notwithstanding that a particular Transaction request will not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit or applicable Type Sublimit, if the payment of the Purchase Price for such Transaction to the related Closing Agent will violate Buyer’s applicable policies and procedures (as contained in the Handbook or otherwise) regarding payments to Closing Agents, Buyer may refuse to pay the Purchase Price to such Closing Agent.

(d)

Return of Purchase Price. If a Wet Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is not closed on the same day on which the Purchase Price was funded, Seller shall immediately return, or cause to be immediately returned (but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours), the Purchase Price (or such greater amount that shall have been remitted by Buyer, if applicable) with respect to such Wet Mortgage Loan to Buyer by wire transfer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B. Further, Seller shall pay Buyer all fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the funding of the Purchase Price for such Wet Mortgage Loan and, from the date of such funding up to but excluding the date such Purchase Price is returned to Buyer, Seller shall also pay Buyer any Price Differential accrued on such Purchase Price immediately upon notification from Buyer; provided, however, that Price Differential shall continue to accrue until the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer.

3.7	Approved Payees.

(a)

Closing Agents. In order for a Closing Agent to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price for new origination Wet Mortgage Loans or Dry Mortgage Loans as to which the origination funds are being remitted to the closing table, Seller shall submit to Buyer the following documents:

(i)

if the title company issuing the title policy that covers the applicable Mortgage Loan has not issued to Buyer a blanket Closing Protection Letter, which covers closings conducted by this Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place:

(1)

a valid blanket Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Buyer, issued to Seller or Buyer by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Mortgage Loan and is an Acceptable Title Insurance Company, that covers closings conducted by the Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place and if applicable, an assignment to Buyer of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

(2)

a valid Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Buyer, issued to Seller or Buyer by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Mortgage Loan and is an Acceptable Title Insurance Company, that covers the closing of this specific Mortgage Loan and if applicable, an assignment to Buyer of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

(3)

with respect to those jurisdictions outlined in the Handbook for which Closing Protection Letters are not available or are limited in their applicability, any other documents Buyer may reasonably require, including without limitation, a duly executed, valid and enforceable assignment to Buyer of Seller’s rights under its fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy maintained pursuant to Section 9.9; and

(ii)

evidence that the Irrevocable Closing Instructions, in the applicable form and signed by Seller and Buyer, have been delivered to such Closing Agent.

(b)

Warehouse Lenders. In order for a warehouse lender to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price, Seller shall submit to Buyer a written request, including the name and address of the warehouse lender, demonstrating a need for such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer reserves the right to refuse to designate any warehouse lender as an Approved Payee, or, alternatively, to require additional terms and conditions in order for Buyer to pay a Purchase Price to a warehouse lender.

(c)

Approval Process. Buyer shall review the applicable documents and notify Seller within two (2) Business Days as to whether such Closing Agent or warehouse lender has been designated by Buyer to be an Approved Payee with respect to such Purchase Price. Buyer may withdraw its approval of any Closing Agent or warehouse lender as an Approved Payee if Buyer becomes aware of any facts or circumstances at any time related to such Closing Agent or warehouse lender which Buyer determines materially and adversely affects the Closing Agent or warehouse lender or otherwise makes the Closing Agent or warehouse lender unacceptable as an Approved Payee.

3.8 Delivery of Mortgage-Backed Securities. With respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans that are Pooled Mortgage Loans, Buyer shall release its interests in such Purchased Mortgage Loans simultaneously with the Settlement Date of a Mortgage-Backed Security backed by a Pool containing such Purchased Mortgage Loans. Provided that such Mortgage-Backed Security has been issued to the Depository in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee, from and after such Settlement Date, the Mortgage-Backed Security shall replace the related Purchased Mortgage Loans as the Asset that is subject to the related Transaction.

ARTICLE 4

REPURCHASE

4.1	Repurchase Price.

(a)

Payment of Repurchase Price. The Repurchase Price for each Purchased Asset shall be payable in full and by wire transfer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J, as applicable, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Repurchase Date of the related Transaction, (ii) the occurrence of any Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to such Purchased Asset, (iii) at Buyer’s sole option, upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (iv) the Expiration Date. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset. While it is anticipated that Seller will repurchase each Purchased Asset on its related Repurchase Date, Seller may repurchase any Purchased Asset hereunder on demand without any prepayment penalty or premium.

(b)

Effect of Payment of Repurchase Price. On the Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price is received in full by Buyer), termination of the related Transaction will be effected by the repurchase by Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets and the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer, or transfer of additional Asset(s) (in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.5), and all of Buyer’s rights, title and interests therein shall then be conveyed to Seller or its designee; provided that, Buyer shall not be deemed to have terminated or conveyed its interests in such Purchased Assets if an Event of Default shall then be continuing or shall be caused by such repurchase or if such repurchase gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit that is not satisfied in accordance with Section 6.3(b). With respect to Purchased Assets that are Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller is obligated to obtain the related Mortgage Loan Documents from the Custodian at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

4.2	Repurchase Acceleration Events. The occurrence of any of the following events shall be a Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, as the case may be:

(a)

Buyer has determined that the Purchased Asset is a Defective Asset;

(b)

thirty (30) calendar days elapse from the date the related Mortgage Loan Documents were delivered to an Approved Investor and such Approved Investor has not returned such Mortgage Loan Documents or purchased such Purchased Asset, unless an extension is granted by Buyer;

(c)

ten (10) Business Days elapse from the date a related Mortgage Loan Document was delivered to Seller for correction or completion or for servicing purposes, without being returned to Buyer or its designee;

(d)

with respect to a Wet Mortgage Loan, Seller fails to deliver to Buyer the related Mortgage Loan Documents within the Maximum Dwell Time or any Mortgage Loan Document delivered to Buyer, upon examination by Buyer, is found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment and is not corrected within the Maximum Dwell Time;

(e)

regardless of whether a Purchased Mortgage Loan is a Defective Asset, a foreclosure or similar type of proceeding is initiated with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(f)

the further sale of a Purchased Asset by Seller to any party other than an Approved Investor;

(g)

(1) with respect to any Pooled Mortgage Loan that has been pooled to support a Mortgage-Backed Security issued by Seller and fully guaranteed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ for which Buyer has executed a Form HUD 11711A, the Custodian ceases to hold the Mortgage Loan File and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer at any time prior to the issuance of the related Mortgage-Backed Security, or (2) with respect to all other Purchased Mortgage Loans, the Custodian ceases to hold the related Mortgage Loan File and all Mortgage Loan Documents in respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer at any time;

(h)

with respect to any Pooled Mortgage Loan, if the Applicable Agency has not issued the related Mortgage-Backed Security to the Depository in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee on the related Settlement Date;

(i)

with respect to any Mortgage-Backed Security that is subject to a Transaction pursuant to Section 3.8, if Buyer has not received the related Takeout Price from the Approved Investor on the related Settlement Date; or

(j)

following the termination of a Temporary Increase, the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price exceeds the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase).

4.3

Reduction of Asset Value as Alternative Remedy. In lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to reduce the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset (to as low as zero) and accordingly require a full or partial repayment of such Repurchase Price or the delivery of other funds or collateral, which additional assets shall be “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Sections 741(5) and (8), respectively.

4.4

Designation as Noncompliant Asset as Alternative Remedy. In lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to deem the related Purchased Asset a Noncompliant Asset, provided that (a) after such Purchased Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the aggregate original Asset Value of all Noncompliant Assets does not exceed the Type Sublimit for Noncompliant Assets; (b) the Asset Value of the Noncompliant Asset is greater than the Repurchase Price or Seller provides Additional Purchased Assets or repays part of the Repurchase Price as provided in Section 6.3 in each case as a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5); and (c) Seller delivers to Buyer all documentation relating to the Purchased Asset reasonably requested by Buyer.

4.5

Illegality or Impracticability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines that any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or any circumstance materially and adversely affecting the London interbank market, the repurchase market for mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities or the source or cost of Buyer’s funds, shall make it unlawful, impractical or commercially unreasonable for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into or to continue to maintain Transactions shall be cancelled and (b) the Repurchase Price for each Transaction then outstanding shall be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date required by any financial institution providing funds to Buyer, (ii) sale of the Purchased Assets in accordance with

the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the date as of which Buyer determines that such Transactions are unlawful to maintain and (iv) five (5) Business Days from the date as of which Buyer determined that such transactions are impracticable or commercially unreasonable to maintain; provided, that in no event shall Buyer or Seller be liable to the other for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating from any actions taken by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.5.

4.6	Increased Costs.

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines that if any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (i) subjects Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Purchased Assets (excluding Net Income taxes) or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof, (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Applicable Pricing Rate hereunder, or (iii) imposes on Buyer any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller is required to pay such amounts to Buyer, Seller shall have the option to immediately terminate this Agreement upon the payment of all amounts due and owing to Buyer (including amounts owed pursuant to this section); provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for any costs, losses or damages incurred by Buyer arising from or relating to Seller’s option to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section.

(b)

If Buyer has determined that the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller is required to pay such amounts to Buyer, Seller shall have the option to immediately terminate this Agreement upon the payment of all amounts due and owing to Buyer (including amounts owed pursuant to this section); provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for any costs, losses or damages incurred by Buyer arising from or relating to Seller’s option to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section.

If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.6, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

4.7

Payments Pursuant to Sale to Approved Investors. Seller shall direct each Approved Investor purchasing a Purchased Asset to pay directly to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the applicable Takeout Price in full and without set-off on the date set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment. In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with a Purchase Advice relating to such payment. Seller shall not direct the Approved Investor to pay to Buyer an amount less than the full Takeout Price or modify or otherwise change the wire instructions for payment of the Takeout Price provided to Approved Investor by Buyer. Buyer shall apply all amounts received from an Approved Investor for the account of Seller in accordance with Section 4.8 below and credit all amounts due Seller to the Over/Under Account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) above. Buyer may reject any amount received from an Approved Investor and not release the related Purchased Asset if (a) Buyer does not receive a Purchase Advice in respect of any wire transfer, (b) Buyer does not receive the full Takeout Price, without set-off or (c) the amount received is not sufficient to pay the related Repurchase Price in full. Alternatively, in lieu of rejecting an amount received by Buyer from an Approved Investor, at Buyer’s option, if the amount received from the Approved Investor does not equal or exceed the related Repurchase Price, Buyer may accept the amount received from the Approved Investor and deduct the remaining amounts owed by Seller from the Over/Under Account or demand payment of such remaining amount from Seller. If Seller receives any funds intended for Buyer, Seller shall segregate and hold such funds in trust for Buyer and immediately pay to Buyer all such amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds together with providing Buyer with a settlement statement for the transaction.

4.8	Application of Payments from Seller or Approved Investors. Unless Buyer determines otherwise, payments made directly by Seller or an Approved Investor to Buyer shall be applied within two (2) Business Days in the following order of priority:

(a)

first, to any amounts due and owing to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.3;

(b)

second, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Buyer under this Agreement that are due and owing and related to the Transaction in connection with which the payment is made;

(c)

third, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Buyer under this Agreement that are due and owing and not related to a specific Transaction;

(d)

fourth, to the Price Differential then due and owing and the outstanding Purchase Price, in each case, on the Purchased Asset in connection with which the payment is made;

(e)

fifth, if an Event of Default has occurred, to the Price Differential then due and owing and the outstanding Purchase Prices, in each case, on any other Purchased Assets; and

(f)

sixth, if an Event of Default has occurred, to the amount of all other obligations then due and owing by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements.

Buyer and Seller intend and agree that all such payments shall be “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8). After the settlement payments have been applied as set forth above, Buyer shall deposit in the Over/Under Account any amounts that remain.

4.9

Method of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Buyer on the date when due and shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J, as applicable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of the Purchase Price, the Price Differential thereon shall be payable at the Applicable Pricing Rate during such extension. All payments made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be applied to Seller’s account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) and Section 4.8 above and shall be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imports, duties or other similar charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority hereof, other than any taxes on or measured by the Net Income of Buyer pursuant to the state, federal and local tax laws of the jurisdiction where Buyer’s principal office or offices or lending office or offices are located, compensate Buyer for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining Transactions as a result of such taxes, imports, duties or other charges. All payments to be made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense.

4.10	Notification of Payment. Seller shall provide Buyer not fewer than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice if Seller or an Approved Investor intends to remit a payment to Buyer equal to or greater than ten million ($10,000,000) dollars.

4.11

Authorization to Debit. In addition to any other authorizations to and rights of Buyer hereunder, Seller hereby expressly authorizes Buyer to debit any account maintained by Seller with any depository institution into which any funds related to the Purchased Assets or related Purchased Items have been deposited (other than escrow accounts maintained for the benefit of the related Mortgagors), including without limitation, any operating, settlement or custodial account, for any and all amounts due Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing debit rights of Buyer shall not apply to Purchased Assets which have been repurchased by Seller pursuant to Section 6.5.

4.12

Book Account. Buyer and Seller shall maintain an account on their respective books of all Transactions entered into between Buyer and Seller and for which the Repurchase Price has not yet been paid. As a courtesy to Seller, Buyer shall provide such information to Seller via the Internet or by telephone or facsimile, if Seller is unable to access the information via the Internet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for maintaining its own book account and records of Transactions entered into with Buyer, amounts due to Buyer in connection with such Transactions and for paying such amounts when due. Failure of Buyer to provide Seller with information regarding any Transaction shall not excuse Seller’s timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

4.13	Full Recourse. The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, Margin Deficit payments, settlement payments and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

ARTICLE 5

FEES

5.1	Payment of Fees. Seller shall pay to Buyer those fees set forth in this Agreement and the Transactions Terms Letter when they become due and owing. Without limiting the generality of

the foregoing, the Facility Fee and the Commitment Fee shall be paid on or before the Effective Date and if this Agreement is renewed, thereafter on or before the anniversary of the Effective Date. Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Over/Under Account or retain from payments made by Seller or an Approved Investor, subject to Section 4.6, or set off against any Purchase Prices to be paid by Buyer any fees permitted under this Agreement that are due and owing. If such amounts on deposit in the Over/Under Account or payments received in connection with a Transaction or Purchase Prices to be paid by Buyer are not sufficient to pay Buyer all fees owed, Buyer shall notify Seller and Seller shall pay to Buyer, within one (1) Business Day, all unpaid fees.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY; SERVICING; MARGIN ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE; CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS; REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS; DUE DILIGENCE

6.1

Precautionary Grant of Security Interest in Purchased Assets and Purchased Items. With respect to the Purchased Assets, although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 6.6 and the expressed intent of the parties, if any Transactions are deemed to be loans, as security for the performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items. Possession of any promissory notes, instruments or documents by the Custodian shall constitute possession on behalf of Buyer.

Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the Servicing Rights related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan were not sold by Seller to Buyer or that the Servicing Rights are not an interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan and are severable from such Purchased Mortgage Loan despite Buyer’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto. In addition, Seller further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and lien upon (i) all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such Servicing Rights and the servicing of each of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (ii) all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller, (iii) all rights to receive such Income, (iv) all other Purchased Items, and (v) all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s obligations to Buyer hereunder.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement in a manner consistent with this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. For purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code and all other relevant purposes, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

6.2	Servicing.

(a)

Servicing Rights Owned by Buyer; Buyer’s Right to Appoint Servicer. In recognition that each Purchased Mortgage Loan is sold by Seller to Buyer on a servicing released basis and Buyer is the owner of the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall have the sole right to appoint the Servicer for each Purchased Mortgage Loan.

(b)

Appointment of Servicer. Subject to Buyer’s right to appoint a successor Servicer at its discretion, Buyer hereby appoints Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer as agent for Buyer for the period between the Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date of the Purchased Mortgage Loans. The right of Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans is on an interim basis only and does not provide or confer a contractual, ownership or other right for Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans, it being understood that upon payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer owns the Servicing Rights and may assume servicing or appoint a Successor Servicer at any time. Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

(c)

Interim Servicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income. For each Transaction, Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as applicable, right to interim service a Purchased Mortgage Loan shall commence on the related Purchase Date and shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the related Purchase Date or (ii) the Repurchase Date. If the interim servicing period expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Purchased Mortgage Loan, then such interim servicing period shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer; provided, that Buyer shall be deemed to have renewed such interim servicing term if Buyer enters into a new Transaction in respect of such Purchased Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such renewal, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to interim service the Purchased Mortgage Loan for a thirty (30) day extension period. Absent any such extension of the interim servicing period, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall transfer servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan (which shall include the delivery of all Servicing Records related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan) to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim servicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have no right to service the related Purchased Mortgage Loan nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the interim servicing period (or continue to extend the interim servicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Seller shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, nor shall Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, have any right to deduct or retain, any servicing fee or similar compensation in connection with the interim servicing of a Purchased Mortgage Loan.

(d)

Servicing Agreement. If there is a Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans other than Seller, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Servicer on behalf of Buyer, which such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms acceptable to Buyer in its discretion, and which shall include, at a minimum, (i) a recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interests and rights to the Purchased Mortgage Loans as provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans; (ii) an obligation for the Servicer to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that the Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it but in no event no less than in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; (iii) an obligation to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; (iv) an obligation to maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its subservicing responsibilities; (v) an obligation not to impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Mortgage Loans or any payment thereto, and (vi) an obligation to collect all Income in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer, in trust, in segregated custodial accounts and remit such Income to the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Further, such Servicing Agreement shall contain express reporting requirements and other rights to allow Buyer to inspect the records of the Servicer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Buyer may terminate the subservicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan with the then existing Servicer in accordance with either Section 6.2(f) or Section 6.2(m).

(e)

Servicing Obligations of Seller. To the extent Seller shall subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan on behalf of Buyer, Seller shall:

(i)

Subservice and administer the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with the degree of care and servicing standards generally prevailing in the industry, including all applicable requirements of the Agency Guides, applicable law, FHA Regulations and VA Regulations, the requirements of any Insurer, as applicable, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the related Approved Investor, so that neither the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and any related Mortgage-Backed Security for purchase under such Purchase Commitment nor the FHA Mortgage Insurance, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement or any other applicable insurance or guarantee in respect of any such Purchased Mortgage Loan, if any, is voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

(ii)

Subject to Section 6.2(f), and to the extent not otherwise held by the Custodian, Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Mortgage Loan File for the Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable law and lending industry custom and practice and shall hold such Mortgage Loan File in trust for Buyer, and in any event shall maintain and safeguard photocopies of the documents delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3, and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of such Mortgage Loan File is for the sole purpose of subservicing such Purchased Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by Seller is in a custodial capacity only;

(iii)

Buyer may, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such documents and records, or require delivery of the originals of such documents and records to Buyer or its designee;

(iv)

Seller shall deliver to Buyer all such reports with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans required in the Transactions Terms Letter at the times and on the dates set forth therein. In addition, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being subserviced by it, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller is required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller; and

(v)

Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if Seller becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under a Purchased Asset.

(f)

Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights by Buyer. Upon an Event of Default, Buyer may sell or transfer any rights to service a Purchased Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Seller or any Servicer.

(g)

Release of Mortgage Loan Files. Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Mortgage Loan File only in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, except when such release is required (1) as incidental to Seller’s subservicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, (2) to complete the Purchase Commitment, or (3) by law.

(h)

Right to Appoint Successor Servicer. Buyer reserves the right, in its discretion, to appoint a successor servicer to subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”). In the event of such an appointment, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related Servicing Records held by Seller or the Servicer, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer. Seller shall have no claim for servicing fees, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder.

(i)

Custodial Account.

(i)

Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account for the benefit of Buyer (the “Custodial Account”) with an Eligible Bank and shall promptly deposit (but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt) into the Custodial Account all Income received with respect to each Purchased Asset sold hereunder. The Custodial Account may not be a deposit account that is established to serve as a custodial account for mortgage loans that Seller services for other parties. Under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Purchased Asset. If Seller fails to segregate any funds and commingles them with any source in breach of this Agreement, Seller agrees that its share of the commingled funds are assumed to have been spent first with any remaining balance to be deemed to belong to Buyer.

(ii)

Seller hereby grants to Buyer a continuing first-priority security interest in all right, title, and interest in and to the Custodial Account. Seller shall, as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to enter into any Transaction hereunder, perfect Buyer’s security interest in the Custodial Account, and either (A) cause the Eligible Bank to agree to comply at any time with instructions from Buyer to such Eligible Bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Custodial Account, without further consent of Seller or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer or (B) arrange for Buyer to become the customer of the Eligible Bank with respect to the Custodial Account, with Seller being permitted to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such Custodial Account as set forth in Section 6.2(i)(iii)(3) below (together, the “Control Agreement”); provided, that no Control Agreement shall be required to the extent that Buyer is the Eligible Bank in respect of the Custodial Account.

(iii)

Any Income received with respect to a Purchased Asset purchased hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Purchased Asset up to but not including the Purchase Date for such Purchased Asset), shall be segregated as described above and held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Purchased Asset and shall be released only as follows:

(1)

after the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been paid in full to Buyer, all amounts previously deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to such Purchased Asset and then in the Custodial Account shall be released by Buyer to Seller or transferred to the Approved Investor or its designee if authorized by Seller;

(2)

if a Successor Servicer is appointed by Buyer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans to be so subserviced shall be transferred into an account established by the Successor Servicer pursuant to its agreement with Buyer; or

(3)

upon instruction by Buyer.

(j)

Location of Custodial Account. Seller shall not change the identity or location of a Custodial Account without thirty (30) days prior notice to Buyer. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to the depository Eligible Bank, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to reflect Buyer’s ownership interest in each Custodial Account.

(k)

Accounting of Custodial Account. If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to any Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.

(l)

Servicer Notice. As a condition precedent to Buyer funding the Purchase Price for any Purchased Mortgage Loan subserviced by a Servicer other than Seller, Buyer, or an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller shall provide to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer, advising the Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and ownership of the Servicing Rights related thereto

and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the subservicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans.

(m)

Notification of Servicer Defaults. If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Purchased Asset has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations with respect to the management or servicing of such Purchased Mortgage Loan as required under this Agreement or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Asset as delegated by such Seller pursuant to any Servicing Agreement, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

(n)

Termination. Buyer shall have the right at any time to immediately terminate the Seller’s or any Servicer’s (as applicable) right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans due to a Servicer Termination Event or for any other reason without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller shall cooperate, or cause the Servicer to cooperate, in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer.

(o)

Buyer’s Right to Service. Buyer or its designee, at the Buyer’s discretion, shall be entitled to service some or all of the Purchased Assets that are Purchased Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, receiving and collecting all sums payable in respect of same. Upon Buyer’s determination and written notice to Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, that Buyer desires to service some or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly cooperate, or shall cause the Servicer to promptly cooperate, with all instructions of Buyer and do or accomplish all acts or things necessary to effect the transfer of the servicing to Buyer or its designee, at Seller’s sole expense. Upon Buyer’s or its designee’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (i) Buyer may, in its own name or in the name of Seller or otherwise, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s), but shall be under no obligation to do so; (ii) Seller shall, if Buyer so requests, pay to Buyer all amounts received by Seller upon or in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) or other Purchased Assets, advising Buyer as to the source of such funds; and (iii) all amounts so received and collected by Buyer shall be held by it as part of the Purchased Assets or applied against any outstanding Repurchase Price owed Buyer.

6.3	Margin Account Maintenance.

(a)

Asset Value. Buyer shall have the right to determine the Asset Value of each Purchased Asset on a daily basis.

(b)

Margin Deficit and Margin Call. If Buyer shall determine at any time that (x) the Asset Value of a Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction is less than the related Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, (y) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions, or (z) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions (in any such case, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, at its sole option and by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to either:

(i)

transfer to Buyer or its designee cash or, at Buyer’s sole option, Eligible Assets approved by Buyer (“Additional Purchased Assets”) so that (x) the individual Asset Value of the Purchased Asset, (y) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction, or (z) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions, as the case may be, including any such cash or Additional Purchased Assets tendered by the Seller, will thereupon equal or exceed the individual or Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price(s) as applicable; or

(ii)

pay one or more Repurchase Prices, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to reduce the related Purchase Price so that the related Purchase Price (or the related aggregate Purchase Price) is less than or equal to the Asset Value of the Purchased Asset (or the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased Assets, as applicable).

If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Assets, as applicable, to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that same day. If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Assets no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next subsequent Business Day. Notice of a Margin Call may be provided by Buyer to Seller electronically or in writing, such as via electronic mail or posting such notice on Buyer’s customer website(s).

(c)

Buyer’s Discretion. Buyer’s election not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d)

Over/Under Account. Buyer may withdraw from the Over/Under Account amounts equal to any Margin Deficit which is not otherwise satisfied by Seller within the time frames provided in this Section 6.3.

(e)

Credit to Repurchase Price. Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transaction(s).

6.4	Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents.

(a)

Custodial Arrangements. With respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may appoint any Person to act as the Custodian to hold possession of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Agency Documents (or a portion thereof) and to take actions at the direction of Buyer. If any Person other than Buyer is appointed as Custodian, it shall be a condition precedent to Buyer entering into any Transactions hereunder that Seller, Buyer and Custodian enter into a Custodial Agreement acceptable to Buyer. Seller hereby consents to any and all such appointments and agrees to deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents and certain of the Agency Documents to the Custodian upon the direction of Buyer. Seller further agrees that (i) the Custodian shall be exclusively the agent, bailee and/or custodian of Buyer; (ii) receipt of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Agency Documents by the Custodian shall be constructive receipt by Buyer of such documents; (iii) Seller shall not have and shall not attempt to exercise any degree of control over the Custodian or any Mortgage Loan Document or Agency Document held by the Custodian; and (iv) Buyer shall not be liable for any act or omission by the Custodian selected by Buyer with reasonable care.

(b)

Temporary Withdrawal of Mortgage Loan Documents for Correction. Buyer may permit Seller to withdraw, for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) Business Days, specified Mortgage Loan Documents for the purpose of correcting or completing such documents or servicing the related Purchased Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in writing, in no event shall more than ten (10) Mortgage Loan Files (or Mortgage Loan Documents from more than ten (10) Mortgage Loan Files) shall be released from Custodian’s possession at any one time; provided further, that any Mortgage Loan Documents that are withdrawn by or at the request of Seller and delivered to a Person other than Seller shall at all times be covered by one or more Bailee Agreements, true and complete and fully executed copies of which shall be delivered to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), and the interest of Buyer in the related Purchased Mortgage Loan shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or the Repurchase Prices with respect thereto are received by, Buyer.

(c)

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents to Approved Investors. Provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the written request of Seller, Buyer may, at its option, deliver to an Approved Investor set forth in the related Purchase Commitment, or its custodian, the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a specified Purchased Mortgage Loan. All such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Documents shall at all times be covered by one or more Bailee Agreements, and Buyer or its designee will not release Mortgage Loan Documents to an Approved Investor unless Buyer or its Custodian has received a true and complete and fully executed Bailee Agreement from the Approved Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(c), and the interest of Buyer in the related Purchased Mortgage Loan shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or the Repurchase Prices with respect thereto are received by, Buyer. If the Approved Investor does not purchase a Purchased Mortgage Loan as contemplated by the related Purchase Commitment, Seller shall, upon the request of Buyer, assist Buyer in the recovery of any Mortgage Loan Documents not returned by the Approved Investor to Buyer.

(d)

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents Relating to Mortgage-Backed Securities. Upon the written request of Seller, Buyer may, at its option, deliver to the certifying custodian or permit the delivery to the certifying custodian of the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to those Purchased Mortgage Loans that are or will be Pooled Mortgage Loans. All such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Documents shall at all times be covered by a Bailee Agreement, and Buyer or its designee will not release Mortgage Loan Documents to a certifying custodian unless Buyer or its designee has received a signed tri-party custodial agreement from such custodian, in a form acceptable to Buyer. Buyer shall have no obligation to release or permit the release of any Mortgage Loan Documents to any certifying custodian that will not sign a custodial agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), and the interest of Buyer in the related Purchased Mortgage Loans shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or proceeds thereof are received by, Buyer. Seller shall pay for all costs of the certifying custodian and use its best efforts to ensure that the issuer delivers the Mortgage-Backed Securities to the Depository in the name of Buyer or Buyer’s nominee on the related Settlement Date.

(e)

Custodial Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of Section 6.4(a)-(d) above and the related provisions set forth in the Custodial Agreement, the provisions of the Custodial Agreement shall control.

6.5	Repurchase and Release of Purchased Assets. Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may repurchase a Purchased Asset by either:

(a)

paying, or causing an Approved Investor to pay, to Buyer, subject to Sections 4.7 and 4.8 above, the Repurchase Price; or

(b)

transferring to Buyer additional Assets satisfactory to Buyer and/or cash, in aggregate amounts sufficient to cover the amount by which the aggregate amount of Transactions then outstanding hereunder (plus accrued interest and accrued fees with respect thereto) exceeds the Asset Value of the existing Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Assets to be released; provided that (i) such additional Assets shall be deemed part of a new Transaction, (ii) the conditions precedent in Section 7.2 shall be satisfied prior to any such transfer, and (iii) any such transfer shall only relate to repurchases of Purchased Assets with respect to the Committed Amount.

Upon receipt of the applicable amount, as set forth above, Buyer shall (i) with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans, deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Seller or Seller’s designee, if such documents have not already been delivered pursuant to a Bailee Agreement and (ii) with respect to related Mortgage-Backed Securities, deliver the Mortgage-Backed Security to Seller or Approved Investor, as applicable, on a delivery versus payment basis. If any such release gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6.3(b). Buyer shall have no obligation to release a repurchased Purchased Asset or terminate its security interest in such Purchased Asset until such Margin Call is satisfied.

6.6

Repurchase Transactions. Beginning on the related Purchase Date and prior to the related Repurchase Date for a Transaction, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all related Purchased Assets and may in its discretion and without notice to Seller engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of such Purchased Assets (such transactions, “Repurchase Transactions”); provided, that no such Repurchase Transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Dates free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Asset or Purchased Item delivered to Buyer by Seller. Seller shall not be responsible for any additional obligations, costs or fees in connection with such Repurchase Transactions. Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with Buyer’s ownership of a Purchased Asset and shall not claim any legal, beneficial or other interest in such a Purchased Asset other than the limited right and obligations to provide servicing of such Purchased Mortgage Loans where Buyer designates Seller as servicer as provided in Section 6.2.

6.7

Periodic Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice to Seller (provided that upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, no such prior

notice shall be required), Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Loan Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller, Custodian or Servicer. Further, Seller will make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer and will instruct such officer to answer candidly and fully, at no cost to Buyer, any and all questions that any authorized representative of Buyer may address to them in reference to the Mortgage Loan Files and Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Data Records and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to re-underwrite any of the Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such re-underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such re-underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller and Buyer further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be paid by Seller. The Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Seller upon due diligence expenses in connection with this Section 6.7 exceeding $25,000; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Seller’s obligation to pay such costs and expenses.

Approved Mortgagee. Seller is an approved FHA, VA, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and/or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac seller, issuer, mortgagee and/or servicer and is in good standing with these agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is permitted to allow FHA and VA approvals to lapse if none of the Transactions under this Agreement include FHA Loans or VA Loans; provided, that Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice (which in no event shall be less than five (5) Business Days) of such lapse and at such point such FHA Loans or VA Loans shall no longer be eligible for Transactions hereunder. In no event has either FHA or VA terminated their applicable Approvals of the Seller for any reason other than a lapse as described in the prior sentence.

(n)

True and Correct Disclosure. The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be true and accurate in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified. There is no fact known to Seller that, after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected to have a Material

Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Principal Agreements or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Buyer for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(o)

Ownership; Priority of Liens.

Seller is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Mortgage Loans; provided that in connection therewith, neither Seller nor its Affiliates are relying on Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ determination of Market Value. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

No Adverse Selection. Seller used no selection procedures that identified Assets offered for sale to Buyer hereunder as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable Assets owned by Seller.

(w)

No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that if Seller has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, such commission or compensation shall have been paid in full by Seller.

(x)

MERS. Seller is a member of MERS in good standing.

(y)

Agency Approvals. Seller has all requisite Approvals and is in good standing with each Agency, with no event having occurred or Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make the Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is permitted to allow FHA and VA approvals to lapse if none of the Transactions under this Agreement include FHA Loans or VA Loans; provided, that Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice (which in no event shall be less than five (5) Business Days) of such lapse and at such point such FHA Loans or VA Loans shall no longer be eligible for Transactions hereunder.

(bb)

Accuracy of Wire Instructions. With respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Purchase Commitment by an Agency, as applicable, (1) either the wire transfer instructions as set forth on the applicable Agency Documents are identical to Buyer’s designated wire instructions or the Buyer has approved such wire transfer instructions in writing in its sole discretion, or (2) either the payee number set forth on the applicable Agency Documents is identical to the payee number that has been identified by Buyer in writing as Buyer’s payee number or the Buyer has approved the related payee number in writing in its sole discretion. With respect each Pooled Mortgage Loan, the applicable Agency Documents are duly executed by Seller and designate Buyer as the party authorized to receive the related Mortgage-Backed Securities.

11.2

Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may, by notice to Seller, declare all or any portion of the Repurchase Prices related to the outstanding Transactions to be immediately due and payable whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, and the obligation of Buyer to enter into Transactions shall thereupon terminate; provided that the acceleration of all Repurchase Prices and termination of Buyer’s obligation to enter into Transactions shall immediately occur upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(i), (n) or (o), notwithstanding that Buyer may not have provided any such notice to Seller. Further, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Seller shall strictly comply with the negative covenants contained in Article 10 hereunder and in no event shall Seller incur additional Debt or

Subordinated Debt, make payments on existing Debt or Subordinated Debt or otherwise distribute or transfer any of Seller’s property and assets to any Person that would result in a default or event of default under the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Buyer may also, at its option, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(a)

enter the office(s) of Seller and take possession of any of the Purchased Items including any records that pertain to the Purchased Items;

(b)

communicate with and notify Mortgagors of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and obligors under other Purchased Assets or on any portion thereof, whether such communications and notifications are in verbal, written or electronic form, including, without limitation, communications and notifications that the Purchased Assets have been assigned to Buyer and that all payments thereon are to be made directly to Buyer or its designee; settle compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Purchased Assets or other Purchased Items or any portion of the Purchased Items, on terms acceptable to Buyer; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all Purchased Assets or other Purchased Items; and where any Purchased Asset or other Purchased Item is in default, foreclose upon and enforce security interests in, such Purchased Asset or other Item by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure;

(c)

collect payments from Mortgagors and/or assume servicing of, or contract with a third party to subservice, any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans requiring servicing and/or perform any obligations required in connection with Purchase Commitments, with all of any such third party’s fees to be paid by Seller. In connection with collecting payments from Mortgagors and/or assuming servicing of any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may take possession of and open any mail addressed to Seller, remove, collect and apply all payments for Seller, sign Seller’s name to any receipts, checks, notes, agreements or other instruments or letters or appoint an agent to exercise and perform any of these rights. If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly forward to Buyer or its designee, all further mail and all “trailing” documents, such as title insurance policies, deeds of trust, and other documents, and all loan payment histories, both in paper and electronic format, in each case, as same relate to the Purchased Assets;

(d)

proceed against Seller under this Agreement or against any Guarantor(s) under their respective Guaranty, or both;

(e)

sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets on a servicing-retained or servicing-released basis; provided that Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Assets at any public or private sale; provided further that Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following any such sale and/or credit;

(f)

enter into one or more hedging arrangements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets; and/or

(g)

pursue any rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against Seller or any Guarantor(s), or both.

11.3	Treatment of Custodial Account. During the existence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no right to

withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any right to set-off any amount owed to it by Buyer against funds held by it for Buyer in the Custodial Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, Seller shall promptly remit to or at the direction of Buyer all funds related to the Purchased Assets in the Custodial Account.

11.4

Sale of Purchased Assets. With respect to any sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 11.2(e), Seller acknowledges and agrees that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. Seller further agrees that in view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default, to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day, or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Seller hereby waives any claims it may have against Buyer arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Purchased Assets may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate Repurchase Price amount of the outstanding Transactions, even if Buyer accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, to more than one offeree. Seller hereby agrees that the procedures outlined in Section 11.2(e) and this Section 11.4 for disposition and liquidation of the Purchased Assets are commercially reasonable. Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof by using internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

11.5

No Obligation to Pursue Remedy. Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. Seller further waives any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Purchased Assets or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Purchased Assets in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Buyer shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Seller against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Purchased Asset or to preserve rights against prior parties. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without intending to limit the foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are hereby waived by Seller. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

11.6

No Judicial Process. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to its obligations under this Agreement arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

11.7

Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses. Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and losses resulting from any hedging arrangements entered into by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.2(f), incurred or paid by Buyer in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Repurchase Price.

11.8	Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or other enforcement of Buyer’s interest in all or any part of the Purchased Assets shall be applied by Buyer:

(a)

first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

(b)

second, to the costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions;

(c)

third, to the payment of any other amounts due under this Agreement other than the aggregate Repurchase Price;

(d)

fourth, to the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price;

(e)

fifth, to all other obligations owed by Seller under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements; and

(f)

sixth, in accordance with Buyer’s exercise of its rights under Section 11.9 hereof.

11.9	Rights of Set-Off. Buyer shall have the following rights of set-off:

(a)

If Seller shall default in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, at any time, and from time to time, without notice, to set-off claims and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have become due; provided, however, that the aforesaid right to set-off shall not apply to any deposits of escrow monies being held on behalf of the Mortgagors related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or other third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by Buyer with respect to any Transaction against obligations and liabilities owed by Seller to Buyer with respect to any other Transaction. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of any liquidation of the Purchased Assets and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b)

In addition to the rights in subsection (a), Buyer and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Bank of America Related Entities”), shall have the right to set-off and to appropriate any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Bank of America Related Entities to or for the credit of the account of Seller and its Affiliates against and on account of the obligations of Seller under any agreement(s) evidencing such indebtedness between Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Bank of America Related Entities, on the other hand, irrespective of whether or not the Bank of America Related Entity shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations shall have matured. In exercising the foregoing right to set-off, any Bank of America Related Entity shall be entitled to withdraw funds in the Over/Under Account which are being held for or owing to Seller to set-off against any amounts due and owing by Seller to the Bank of America Related Entity. If a Bank of America Related Entity other than Buyer intends to exercise its right to set-off in this subsection (b), such Bank of America Related Entity shall provide Seller prior notice thereof, and upon Seller’s receipt of such notice, if the basis for such right to set-off is Seller’s breach or default of its obligations to the Bank of America Related Entity, Seller shall have three (3) Business Days to cure any such breach or default in order to avoid such set-off.

11.10

Reasonable Assurances. If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Buyer has reason to believe that Seller is not conducting its business in accordance with, or otherwise is not satisfying: (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and notices of federal, state, or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities, all applicable requirements of Approved Investors and Insurers and prudent industry standards or (ii) all applicable requirements of Buyer, as set forth in this Agreement, then, Buyer shall have the right to demand, pursuant to notice from Buyer to Seller specifying with particularity the alleged act, error or omission in question, reasonable assurances from Seller that such a belief is in fact unfounded. In the event the Seller fails to provide to Buyer such reasonable assurances in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, within the time frame specified in such notice, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and Seller shall repay the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due and owing within five (5) Business Days. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm the continued eligibility of Seller for Transactions hereunder, including without limitation (i) ordering credit reports and/or appraisals with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, (ii) contacting Mortgagors, licensing authorities and Approved Investors or Insurers, and (iii) performing due diligence reviews on the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Mortgage Loan Files pursuant to Section 6.7 and other Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 12

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1

Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Bank of America Entities and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Principal Agreements, any other document referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Purchased Assets or Seller’s obligations thereunder. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement (provided that if the terms of any Principal Agreement conflict with the foregoing, the terms of the Principal Agreement shall control) or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

12.2

Reimbursement. Seller shall reimburse the Bank of America Related Entities for all expenses required in the Transactions Terms Letter to be reimbursed when they become due and owing. In addition, Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 6.7, or otherwise, (ii) the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Principal Agreement or any other documents prepared in connection therewith, and (iii) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer incurred in connection with any of the foregoing.

12.3	Payment of Taxes.

(a)

All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the Net Income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(b)

Seller shall pay and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all Taxes and Other Taxes arising with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Principal Agreements and other documents related thereto and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

(c)

Any Buyer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Seller with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income

receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 12.3(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 12.3(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

(d)

Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

12.4

Buyer Payment. If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Article 12, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under any of the Principal Agreements.

12.5

Agreement not to Assert Claims. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees not to assert any claim against the other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Principal Agreements, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

12.6

Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Article 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

ARTICLE 13

TERM AND TERMINATION

13.1

Term. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Expiration Date. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, all amounts due Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

13.2	Termination.

(a)

Buyer may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time by providing notice to Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, cause shall be deemed to exist if (i) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute to not constitute a “repurchase agreement,”

a “securities contract,” or a “master netting agreement,” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) payments or security offered hereunder are deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute “settlement payments” or “margin payments” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute an agreement to provide financial accommodations as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1), (iv) Buyer determines that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any similar intentional conduct on behalf of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect to any of Seller’s obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement or (v) (A) a breach of any of Seller’s or Servicer’s subservicing obligations, including, but not limited to, its failure to deposit any funds required to be deposited under Section 6.2(g) into the Custodial Account and such breach is not cured within three (3) Business Days of such occurrence, or (B) a Servicer Termination Event shall occur and, in the case of clause (B), Seller has failed to (1) appoint a successor servicer acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion and (2) deliver a fully executed Servicer Notice with such successor servicer, in each case within forty-five (45) days following the occurrence of such Servicer Termination Event. Further, Buyer may, without cause and for any reason whatsoever, terminate this Agreement with respect to the Uncommitted Amount at any time by providing five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Seller.

(b)

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all outstanding amounts due to Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Buyer in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Buyer under this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 14

GENERAL

14.1

Integration; Servicing Provisions Integral and Non-Severable. This Agreement, together with the other Principal Agreements, and all other documents executed pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which such communications are merged herein. All Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and the Seller agrees that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement related to the servicing and Servicing Rights of the Purchased Mortgage Loans are integral, interrelated, and are non-severable from the purchase and sale provisions of the Agreement. Buyer has relied upon such provisions as being integral and non-severable in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price methodology for such Mortgage Loans. The integration of these servicing provisions is necessary to enable Buyer to obtain the maximum value from the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans by having the ability to sell the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans free from any claims or encumbrances. Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change the intent of Seller and Buyer regarding the integral and non- severable nature of the provisions in the Agreement related to servicing and Servicing Rights nor will such facts affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

14.2	Amendments. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought.

14.3

No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Seller or Buyer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between Seller and Buyer shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

14.4

Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Seller or Buyer would otherwise have. No notice or demand on Seller in any case shall entitle Seller to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.5

Assignment. The Principal Agreements may not be assigned by Seller. The Principal Agreements, along with Buyer’s right, title and interest, including its security interest, in any or all of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by Buyer, with the prior written consent of Seller which consent shall not be reasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent shall not be required if Buyer assigns its rights and obligations (i) to an Affiliate or (ii) after the occurrence and during

the continuance of a Potential Default or an Event of Default. Upon notice to Seller of such transfer or assignment in accordance herewith, any transferee or assignee thereof may enforce the Principal Agreements and such security interest directly against Seller.

14.6	Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.7

Participations. Buyer may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in this Agreement, and the holder of any such participation, if the participation agreement so provides, (i) shall, with respect to its participation, be entitled to all of the rights of Buyer and (ii) may exercise any and all rights of set-off or banker’s lien with respect thereto, in each case as fully as though Seller were directly obligated to the holder of such participation in the amount of such participation; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to send or deliver to any of the participants other than Buyer any of the materials or notices required to be sent or delivered by it under the terms of this Agreement, nor shall it have to act except in compliance with the instructions of Buyer.

14.8

Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

14.9

Additional Instruments. Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments and shall do and perform all matters and things necessary or expedient to be done or observed for the purpose of effectively creating, maintaining and preserving the security and benefits intended to be afforded by this Agreement.

14.10

Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Seller shall survive any Transaction and shall be effective so long as this Agreement is in effect or there remains any obligation of Seller hereunder to be performed.

14.11

14.19

Intent. Seller and Buyer recognize and intend that:

(a)

this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder constitutes a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement in Section 6.1 hereof constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a);

(b)

Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies herein is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561 ;any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to: (i) satisfy a Margin Deficit, (ii) comply with a Margin Call, or (iii) satisfy the provision of Guarantees and/or additional security agreements to provide enhancements to satisfy a deficiency in the Over/Under Account, shall in each case be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5); and

(c)

any payments or transfers of property by Seller (i) on account of a Haircut, (ii) in partial or full satisfaction of a repurchase obligation, or (iii) fees and costs under this Agreement or under any Transaction shall in each case constitute “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8).

Right to Liquidate. It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to terminate or accelerate obligations under this Agreement or any individual Transaction, are contractual rights for same as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.

14.21

Insured Depository Institution. If a party hereto is an “insured depository institution” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (as amended, the “FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable.

14.22

Netting Contract. This Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to the FDICIA except insofar as one or more of the parties hereto is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in the FDICIA.

14.23

Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent, solely for purposes of United States federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, and not for bankruptcy or any other purpose, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

14.24

Examination and Oversight by Regulators. Seller agrees that the transactions with Buyer under this Agreement may be subject to regulatory examination and oversight, including, without limitation, examination and oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

(l)

(n)

Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby.

Exh. L-3

requirements regarding such dwellings or conforming to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion; provided that no residence or dwelling is a condominium unit (unless the related Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the Agency Guides), a mobile home (unless the related Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the Agency Guides), a manufactured home (unless the related Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the Agency Guides) or a Co-op Unit (unless the related Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the Agency Guides).

(iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

(s)

Hazard Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by a policy of hazard insurance and insurance against other insurable risks and hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located as required by the applicable Approved Investor and in accordance with the Seller’s underwriting guidelines and the Agency Guides, as applicable, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property or such maximum lesser amount as permitted by the applicable Approved Investor and applicable law, all in a form usual and customary in the industry and that is in full force and effect, and all amounts required to have been paid under any such policy have been paid. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a

Exh. L-5

“master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

The title insurance company that issued the applicable Closing Protection Letter has also issued or has committed to issue the title insurance policy. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such title insurance policy, and such title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such title insurance policy, and no prior holder, servicer or subservicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(z)

No Fraud. No error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence has taken place with respect to the Mortgage Loan on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this representation, “points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether they are paid to Seller or a third party; and (y) exclude bona fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination of the mortgage (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections); the cost of mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of the Mortgage Loan.

(zz)

Mandatory Arbitration. No Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after October 31, 2004, is subject to mandatory arbitration except when the terms of the arbitration also contain a waiver provision that provides that in the event of a sale or transfer of the Mortgage Loan or interest in the Mortgage Loan to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, the terms of the arbitration are null and void and cannot be reinstated. Seller hereby covenants that Seller or subservicer of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, will notify the Mortgagor in writing within 60 days of the sale or transfer of the Mortgage Loan to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae that the terms of the arbitration are null and void.

(aaa)

Mortgage Loan Products. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the originator of the Mortgage Loan which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy Mortgagors, unless at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or any affiliate of the originator of such Mortgage Loan. If, at the time of Mortgage Loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit product than offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the originator of the Mortgage Loan, such originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration.

(bbb)

Environmental Matters. The Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or

Exh. L-9
